fold or push in a situation that comes up a lot for me

[JasonP530]

I have been looking for spots where I believe I have the best hand, and it is still correct to fold it. In almost all of the situations I have posted, I have been right to call or push instead of fold. I guess that shows that those situations are rare. here is another one, comments would be appreciated.

The main villian has been firing out minimum bets at every flop and folding to a raise or continuing to fire with nothing. I have called his flop bet and bet the turn on him in 2 of the last 3 hands and he has folded both times. For whatever reason I feel like he is ready to play back at me. I put him on an ace or a low PP. Definately not a big PP by the speed of his raise and the above mentioned info. FWIW, 4 people were eliminated in the first 9 hands of this $50 tourney.

Is is bad to fold and wait for a better spot? or should I push as a 2-1 favorite probably?

I would call this instantly. If he has AA-QQ so be it (that risk is cancelled out by the times he will have something like 88-TT and A2-AT). But most of the time I would expect AK or AQ.

Don't know how you figured your a 2:1 favorite vs. his likely range of hands but I still push over the top of his all in.

[Apathy]

It is rarely correct to fold, knowing you have the best hand, especially a big edge like the one you have here given your read. Push.

If you want to find the situation you are thinking of, think...bubble.

[JasonP530]

I didnt know, but I sensed he would make a move with a lower pocket pair or Ax.

[Poisson7]

When reading your description of the hand I assumed you'd have something like 77 or 88. With JJ it's a no-brainer.

If he shows you AA-QQ, so be it. Folding is absolutely horrible. Call, 100% of the time.

This should be an insta-call against a player like you describe.
